Avalanche risk is high in the mountains of Northern and Central Utah due to heavy snow and strong winds.
Toby Weed of the Utah Avalanche Center explains to UPR why conditions are particularly dangerous right now.
The warning doesn't apply to ski areas where crews conduct avalanche control, but skiing or traveling in the backcountry is not recommended.
The Utah Avalanche Center is a partnership between the U.S. Forest Service and other state and local agencies.
